Hello:

I have a portal that displays various amounts on each portal row say $50, $25, $100 etc. And I have a summary field that is outside the portal on the layout that totals the 3 records so the summary field will have $175 in my example. When I add a line - I do this thru a new window with a field that allows the user to enter an amount. After exiting that window the line appears in the portal -- fine BUT the summary field does not update. I use a Refresh Window command but the summary field will still not update. If, however, I click anywhere on the layout the summary field then updates to the correct amount. Is there a way to refresh that field without having to click on the form to get it to update. I know I'm missing a simple thing here but its eluding me.

Thoughts?

Make sure you commit the record as well as the portal refresh.

Yep got it covered.
